    New rescue
    Hey all,

    Just wanted to drop in to say hello and show a few pictures of my new rescue girl. My local reptile shop (not a chain store) had this sweet little girl just wasting away and offered her to me at a STEEP discount to see if I could rehab her (with full store credit being given back to me should she not make it in the next 90 days). She was sold as a Vanilla and I'm hoping folks around here could verify that. They've never steered me wrong before but I'm "semi" new to BP morphs and just want to see what others think.

    Keep in mind, she's not eaten for quite some time and is very thin - she's only 44grams. The good news is, she ate a rat pinkie after a pedialyte/water soak RIGHT after we got home. She needed a bit of assistance as she was struggling to latch on after a few weak strikes but once I guided her to it she took it and got it down after what felt like an eternity. She is sooooo weak but I was greatly encouraged after getting her fed, soaked and settled in to her tub.

    Please feel free to offer any advice or suggestions, too!

    Here she is... Her name is Grace. :)

    Oh my gosh she is so skinny!!! Congrats on getting her to eat. Keep up the good work but take it slow. Poor little girl :(

    I know nothing about IDing vanillas so I am no help there.

    Good SAVE! I hope she puts on some weight for you. I can't ID a vanilla but she is pretty. Such a tiny neck.

    Should punch the petstore owner in the face.

    (I can sell animals for profit but damned if i can't take care of them) mentality

    Good up on the rescue! Do update when you can. :gj:
